I've been a Browns fan since 1979 and I guess I was spoiled a bit because when I really started getting into them, the Kardiac Kids were just coming into their own. Then a few bad years but we got rewarded with the Bernie Kosar era. To a certain extent, even the Belichick era wasn't horrible (outside of the team leaving, of course).
Since 1999 though..........wow.
I find myself in dejavuville (is that a word....I guess it is now...lol) as we come up on another draft. I'M SO EXCITED as I always am around this time of year.
But is it mis-placed? Since the re-birth do we have a QB? No. Do we have a RB? No. Do we have a WR? No. LT? No. DE? No. CB? No. DT? No.
We've got TE, LB, S and some special teams guys. That's about it. There's potential in some of the positions like WR, CB, DT and DE but really.......we still aren't a team that's a couple guys away. A couple dozen maybe...but not a couple.
IT'S FRUSTRATING AS HELL to know that you can get a helluva athlete at #3 and #36 plus spend your butt off in free agency two years in a row and know that NO MATTER WHAT you can't fill all the holes.
I know, I know. What can you do about it? I should either shut up and support my team or find a different one (NOT AN OPTION........EVER!!!!)
So, I'll be quiet for now, get excited about April 28th and hope against hope that come the 2007 season there aren't as many holes as I know there are.
